THREE YEARS AFTER THE CRASH OF A MINIATURE TRAIN IN A SPARTANBURG COUNTY PARK - THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES - ARE GETTING A SETTLEMENT. OUR CAMERA WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE COURTROOM. WYFF NEWS FOUR'S MIKE MCCORMICK IS LIVE AND LOCAL AT THE COURTHOUSE.. MIKE...THAT HEARING LASTED A FEW HOURS, RIGHT? MIKE YEAH.. THE JUDGE CALLED IT AN UNUSUAL AND EXTRAORDINARY CASE.. MOSTLY BECAUSE OF HOW MANY LIVES WERE IMPACTED BY THE CRASH. 47:33 "I have no reservation in approving these settlements." THE SETTLEMENTS - TOTALED ONE-POINT-SIX MILLION DOLLARS. EACH VICTIM'S PORTION... - 8:35 "she received a broken left arm." DEPENDED ON THEIR SITUATION... 32:47 "her daughter expressed a concern to EMS at the time she was afraid she was going to die." AND MEDICAL BILLS. - 40:34 "he unfortunately suffered a very severe and traumatic open head injury." IT'S ALL RELATED TO THE CRASH OF THE MINIATURE TRAIN AT SPARTANBURG COUNTY'S CLEVELAND PARK IN MARCH OF 2011. INVESTIGATORS BLAMED SPEED. MORE THAN TWO DOZEN RIDERS WERE INJURED.. AND 6-YEAR-OLD BENJI EASLER WAS KILLED. 49:00 "today wasn't about justice, really not about closure." BENJI'S PARENTS GOT 275-THOUSAND DOLLARS, MINUS LEGAL FEES, FOR HIS DEATH. 49:08 "we're happy with how everything turned out." UNDER STATE LAW - THE VICTIMS WERE TO SPLIT A TOTAL OF 600-THOUSAND DOLLARS.. BUT ATTORNEYS SAY THEY POINTED TO ANOTHER CASE.. THAT MADE ROOM FOR MORE MONEY. 54:21 "I think under the law if you view it just as following the law there was justice, but this was an unjust result in reality." THEY WANT TO CHANGE THAT LAW.. AND CHANGE THE WAY.. CHILDRENS TRAINS.. ARE RUN AND REGULATED. 51:04 "we just pray that good will come out of this and we pray that other people will be spared the suffering you saw in this room today." MIKE AND AS COUNTY LEADERS WORK TO REBUILD CLEVELAND PARK.. THEY SAY THEY COMMITTED TO TAKING THE STEPS NECESSARY TO PREVENT ANOTHER TRAGEDY. MIKE MCCORMICK, WYFF NEWS FOUR, LIVE IN SPARTANBURG.
